Adelte Group, a company specializing in the design and manufacture of boarding bridges for airports and ports, has won a contract of 16.4 million euros to equip the new shipping terminal Kai Tak, in Hong Kong (China).
Team Ports & Maritime, a subsidiary of Adelte, will supply five boarding bridges for cruise passengers after winning the tender launched by the Government of the old British Colony. This, according to Adelte, is the largest contract of this type in the port industry.
The boarding bridges, which will be manufactured at Team’s factory in Monzón (Huesca), will enable both large cruise ships and smaller pleasure craft to dock in Kai Tak. With the new terminal, designed by the British architect Norman Foster, Hong Kong aims to become the leading cruise port in Asia.
The fingers will have external lighting and photovoltaic plaques to produce electricity, and will be conditioned so as to enable access to people with reduced mobility.
Once manufactured, the boarding bridges will be assembled at Barcelona Port, where they will set sail for Hong Kong. They are expected to reach the Chinese city in the middle of 2013.
“This contract consolidates Team in the region”, indicated yesterday Josep Maria Bartomeu, CEO of Adelte Group. Last September, Bartomeu, who is Vice-president for sport of FC Barcelona, allowed the venture capital firm Baring Private Equity Partners into the shareholding of the company, with a 48% share. The Bartomeu family – which founded the group in 1992 – now holds 52% of the capital, together with minority shareholders. Baring also purchased 48% of EFS–Equipo Facilty Services, a firm linked to Adelte and also controlled by the Bartomeu family.
The incorporation of the new shareholder coincides with the return of Adelte to the business of airport fingers, five years after selling this line of activity to the multinational ThyssenKrupp.

Singapore’s Changi Airport Group is launching an S$15 million initiative to boost airfreight volumes in the Asia-Pacific. Beginning April 1, freighters landing at Changi Airport will receive a 20-percent fee rebate, while cargo tenants leasing property at the Changi Airfreight Center will enjoy rental rebates of up to 20 percent.
In a press release, Changi officials explained that the Changi Airport Group Initiative, or CAGi, is designed to offset the 4.8 percent, year-over-year, loss the Asia-Pacific airfreight sector experienced in 2011. Changi cited escalating fuel prices and economic problems throughout the U.S. and eurozone as contributors to this decline.
Even so, Changi Airport saw modest freight gains last year, welcoming 1.87 million tonnes of cargo. Although this translates to a 2.8-percent, year-over-year, increase, it’s a figure that’s only on par with 2008 levels, according to the press release.
Changi officials hope CAGi will provide incentives for cargo carriers to operate at the airport. Passenger carriers will also benefit from the initiative, albeit on a lesser level, obtaining 5-percent rebates on landing fees.
“Other CAGi incentives remain in place to support exciting airlines’ traffic growth at Changi Airport and the launch of services to new destinations, as well as to attract new airlines,” according to the press release.
Changi Airport Group CEO Lee Seow Hiang believes these rebates will benefit cargo and passenger carriers tremendously. “We are, hence, fully committed to strengthening our relationship with them through ‘win-win’ partnerships and support programs that will enable our partners and us to overcome the challenges ahead together and sustain our mutual growth for the long-term.”
Singapore Airlines has become in 2011 the biggest air cargo operator according to Aena figures in Barcelona Airport and plays a key role linking Singapore with Sao Paulo via Barcelona.
